UD Raises Tuition for 2010-2011 School Year You gotta love the logic of it. "We're raising the tuition because we have to cover the increasing financial aid demands of the students." Gee, you think maybe the fact that school is constantly raising tuition has nothing to do with the fact that more students need finanical aid? It's the out-of-state students that get really screwed though- their tuition has been raised 2k, and they're now paying $24,500.

I loved being a Blue Hen, and the school does have a lot going for it, but their goddamned greediness just gets to me. The sad thing is, I could go to any other large university and find the same sort of greed because of the fact that college is now just a business. It's part of what I liked about the environment of community colleges- they're not a money-making enterprise like the universities are- and why I'm leaning towards the cc environment when I'm finally done with school. I'll make far less money, but I think at the end of the day I'd be happier not surrounded by the money-grubbing bloodsucking administrators who want to drain every single university student dry.

But at the end of the day, I suppose these tuition increases are worth it. After all, the UD students get really pretty brick sidewalks, new turf grass to play frisbee on, and suite-style dorms. I mean, that's what's most important, right? *rolls eyes*

It's kinda funny that my out-of-state tuition for IUP is only going to be about 2k more than the in-state tuition for my undergrad. Good thing I'm not doing a 6th year at UD.

Sorry to get on a soap box, it just sucks to realize how much students get ripped off every year.
